What's New in Wono DET: Google Sign-In, Local Currency Prices and a Better Practice History
The latest Wono DET updates: sign in with Google, see plan prices in your own currency, filter and retry past practice sessions, more accurate speaking transcripts, and worked photo examples.
The Short Version
We just released a batch of updates. Here are the ones you will notice:
- Sign in with Google in one click
- Plan prices in your local currency, so you know roughly what you will pay before checkout
- A new practice history with search, filters and a Try again button
- More accurate speaking transcripts for accented English
- Worked photo examples with model answers on the Write and Speak About the Photo pages
- A faster dashboard that responds right away when you switch pages
Details for each are below.
1. Sign In with Google
You can now sign in or create an account with your Google account, without typing a password or waiting for an email code.
When you sign in, Google now clearly shows Wono DET as the app you are signing in to.
We also fixed a sign-up problem. If you started signing up earlier but never entered the email code, the form could tell you the email was already taken. Now you simply get a fresh code and can finish signing up.
2. Prices in Your Own Currency
Plan prices on the landing page and on the Billing page can now be shown in your local currency, such as IDR, INR, EUR or CNY.
- We suggest a currency based on your country. You can change it from the currency picker above the plans, and we remember your choice
- Converted prices are approximate. They follow exchange rates that are updated every day
- You are still charged in USD. Each plan shows the exact USD amount ("Charged as $X USD"), and your bank or card provider does the final conversion
Checkout is also smoother. The security check that sometimes appeared at checkout is gone, so if a payment fails you can try again right away without reloading the page.
3. A Practice History You Can Actually Use
The History page has been redesigned. Each session is now a card showing the photo, the task, your estimated score range and the date.
You can now:
- Search by photo keyword (for example "kitchen" or "market") to find a session
- Filter by mode (writing or speaking), score range and time period
- Sort sessions and page through older ones
- Press Try again to practice the same photo again and see if your score improves
Your 5 latest sessions also appear on the Overview page using the same cards, so you can jump back into one quickly.
Score charts fixed
We fixed several issues with the score charts on the Overview and Analytics pages:
- High scores are no longer cut off. Charts now use the full DET range of 10-160
- Single attempts show a score range (for example 125-135) when you point at them, matching how practice results are shown. Averages still show an exact number
- Several attempts on the same day each show up separately on the chart
4. More Accurate Speaking Transcripts
Wono DET scores your spoken answers from a transcript of your recording. Before, a strong accent could sometimes cause the recording to be transcribed in the wrong language, which led to a confusing transcript and an unfair score.
Speaking answers are now always transcribed as English. If you noticed odd transcripts before, try a speaking session again.
5. Worked Examples for the Photo Tasks
The Write About the Photo and Speak About the Photo pages now include a real practice photo with a model answer. Each answer is broken down into:
- Setting: where the photo takes place
- People: who is in it
- Action: what they are doing
- Details: objects, colors and smaller things worth mentioning
- Mood: the feeling of the scene
A word count is included so you can see how long a strong answer is. The examples are available in all five languages on the site.
6. A Faster, Clearer Dashboard
- Switching pages is faster. The sidebar stays in place when you move between Overview, History, Analytics, Billing and Settings, and the page responds immediately
- No more blank screen while a page is loading
- The plan banner in the sidebar now shows which plan you are on, with a button to upgrade or manage it
- "My account" at the bottom of the sidebar now takes you straight to Settings
A Note on the Free Trial
The free trial is now limited to one per email address. If you delete your account and sign up again with the same email, you can still use your account, but the free credits will not be given again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I link Google to my existing email account?
If your Wono DET account uses the same email as your Google account, signing in with Google takes you to that account.
Why does my bank show a slightly different amount than the converted price?
The converted price is an estimate. You are charged the USD amount shown on the plan, and your bank converts it with its own exchange rate and fees.
Will "Try again" overwrite my previous result?
No. Each attempt is saved as a new session, so you can compare your old and new scores on the same photo.
